摘要
In this paper we study the solutions of a generalized reaction-diffusion system with a bistable reaction term, and considering directional anomalous diffusion. We use the well-known properties of fractional derivatives to model asymmetric anomalous diffusion, and obtain traveling wave solutions that propagate in a direction that depends on the metastability of the front, the fractional exponent and the asymmetry of the diffusion.
